If you're not being good and behaving then you must be having fun

You can have even more fun by misbehaving and being good at it!

I hope you stay safe! There are couple of provinces one should stay away from: "Diyarbakir, Mardin, Batman, Bitlis, Bingöl, Siirt, Mus, Tunceli, Sirnak, Hakkari and Van".
Cheers!

That's more than a couple. And did you really say to stay away from Batman?

Clearly my post states it as province Batman, not the princess Batman[^]!

Well you gotta solve the [Batman equation] to get the answer of your question

The following question closed by the admin
Replace text in textbox with Find.Execute[^]
Given reason is,
Hi CodingLover, Your question 'Replace text in textbox with Find.Execute' has been reported by Wes Aday, digimanus, Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov and has been closed, with the reason being given as This post is spam, abusive or otherwise inappropriate. If you wish to revise and reopen your article based on the feedback from these members then simply go to Replace text in textbox with Find.Execute and click the "Update my article" link. This will enable you to edit and update your article and will re-open your article for other members to enjoy.
First of all this not an article. It's a question. If my question is not clear it's better to clarify it. I like to see that, as a community, if it's not clear share the thoughts and get clarify from the original poster, rather closing it. In the community there can be people who are well experienced as well as nothing at all.

There is some inconsistency with the system...
On site the reasoning is a bit different (and more understandable)
Quote: Closed because the post is not clear, or is incomplete and has not been phrased in a way that allows it to be fully understood..
It is happening often that people do not comment on why the question is unclear (kind of laziness mixed with weariness), and only report it...
Do not take it personally - try to improve it instead...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I don't think so.
I have seen some members post irrelevant answers to questions, and report it as unclear at the same time - as shown by the list of reporters when you refresh the page.

That's a kind of behavior I hadn't noticed yet...very disturbing and I think should be discussed by higher (than me at least) ranks...

I saw many replies which are not relevant at all and still moving ahead. I can't see that my question is weird or incomplete comparing to those. So now I don't have even a chance to improve my question.
More like this is people chasing on points and stuff in the community, rather helping others

Thanks for the comment.
Nothing personal at all. But without a discussion how I know that what is unclear to those reporters? Honestly I can't see anything unclear in my question, as I see . And now I don't have a chance to improve my question too, since reporters just said it's not clear.

Your question was fine. Unfortunately, any site with public/volunteer moderation ends up at the receiving end of people's egos.

It's generic text.
If you look at the question itself, it says:
Closed because the post is not clear, or is incomplete and has not been phrased in a way that allows it to be fully understood.. Reported by Wes Aday, digimanus on Sunday, August 16, 2015 7:35pm. Which is a little more sensible.
Personally, I don't like the "I don't understand this question, let's close it" attitude of some members - If you don't understand it, explain why and ask for clarification. Closing the question just kills any conversation, but...it feeds egos, and may give rep points to the reporters.
I'd suggest that it would be better to raise this here: http://www.codeproject.com/suggestions.aspx[^] where the admins will see it.

Thanks for the comment.
I'm agree with you. If my question is not clear why they didn't check that with me, rather reporting and closing down? That's why I expect from a community people.

So, not one of those 3 left a comment first?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Agree on this. The lifetime expectance of an (partially) unclear question is very short leaving no possibility to enhance and explain the question, possibly causing only frustration.

Totally agree. Looks like those guys didn't understand the question, or did not know the answer, and so thought it their best option to close it so people wiser than they are would not have a chance to answer the OP. Insane logic!

Would make things clear if you give an example indicating these:

Expected output: ...
Actual output: ...
Things I tried: ...

Thanks for the comment.
Yes I can, but I don't think that anyone can't understand what I said. If someone really want to see an example or something I've done why they didn't ask me about it? What they did was simply report, and admin closed the thread. I'm in no where now.

Admin didn't close the thread - it was closed automatically as a result of the "unclear" votes. This is part of the system which removes inappropriate material (abuse, plagiarism, and spam mostly) without admins being involved directly - and thus quickly, since it doesn't need 24 hour admins!
